NFL GOAT Tom Brady is not new to controversies. However, he was caught in the eye of a storm in his latest appearance on the ‘Let’s Go!’ podcast. The future HOF-er compared the toil of playing an NFL season to “going away on deployment in the military”. Tom Terrific’s remarks did not impress the fans and the army veterans. 

Meanwhile, some of the family members asked TB12 to show more concern. The 45-year-old made these remarks as he discussed the balance between his career and life. “I almost look at a football season like I’m going away on deployment for the military. And it’s like: ‘Man, here I go again,” he said.

The military deployment remark revealed TB12’s approach to NFL, as in how he takes it. However, the military community corrected Brady. They said it is wrong to compare a sport with national duty. 

A user explained why the comparison was unjust.

This user said TB12 should have stayed in retirement.

This user had some critical remarks against Brady.

The daughter of the Vietnam war veteran too echoed the same feeling.

Meanwhile, this user also expressed his frustration.

Why some comparisons are controversial in sport
